So I hit my 6 month mark today. I wish I was losing faster, but I have lost 1/4 of what I need to lose. It's not to bad seeing as there is no way I could have lost that all on my own. So I am posting a 6 month pic along with my original.

Marie! You're beautiful! I can see a big difference! You're looking great!! And doing very well! Happy 6 month Bandiversary!!!

I love Biggest Loser! I was so happy to see Michelle win the last season! I did NOT want that Vicki to win! She was such a game player and was only there for the money! I didn't like her! (sorry I hope others aren't offended by my comment!)

I agree with you. I didn't think Vicki was all that bad at the beginning, but then she started talking revenge. Please post the shake you had.

Sure!

Here is the Protein Drink I got at Cost Co.

"Premier Nutrition Protein - High Protein chocolate Shake"

Cal 160

fat 3grams

0 sat and trans fat

carb 5grams

Fiber 3 grams

protein 30 grams!

Hmmm, that must be the same one deboregon was mentioning. Does it come in vanilla? I'm just not a big fan of chocolate shakes.< /p>

I wonder if they make it in vanilla. Cost Co only sells the Chocolate. And I looked at the website and Chocolate was the only one they had.

My son bought some Protein Powder and he now makes it for me, comes to bed each AM and wakes me up with an 8 oz. glass.

Thanks to the support of him, I'm surely getting my breakfast!

Protein powders, especially this one which is chocolate, can almost taste like Nescles Quick.

Never happened since I had my band..but

Put me down for a loss this week of

(( drum roll ))))

8 lbs.

that's eight pounds! :(

That's one indication the prunes worked after the new medication clogged all my works up. A first and probably a last, I don't expect a loss like this on an ongoing basis but I'll take it to lift my spirits thats for sure.

Everyone have a goal achieving day today, whatever it may be.

Well put me down for a loss of 3.1#. Nothing to be ashamed of... I'm about halfway to my :)-Day goal! As an added plus I am only 3.3# away from having lost 20% of my body weight so that would be 40% of my excess weight! :(

My weigh-in for this week is -0.4.

A loss is still a loss, but I can't help but feel if I hadn't indulged last night (3 cranberry/vodkas and a Michelob Ultra :) ) that maybe I'd have stayed down 0.8 like I was on Friday. :(

I apparently did jinx myself by posting Thursday . .. as I gained about a half pound overnight and so I"m only down 1.5. Oh well. It's still a loss.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
